Tamaño y Riesgo en los Mercados Financieros

Abstract

This paper examines relationships between size and risk in financial markets. Based on the work
of Makridakis / Taleb [2009] and Taleb / Tapiero [2009], presents the problems of excessive
risk and imbalances caused by the size of firms. Markets mixed on firm growth traps
externalities can influence risk, high-cost for the commons. A policy of regulation and control in
markets, while necessary, are still insufficient in economies with little institutional support.
Externalities of risk and firm size categories are fundamental to understanding the present
financial crisis since the economies of scale.
